We use these in our company and are continuously having to purchase them. Quite often not many of the bags are in stock. There have been many times that we go in for them and there are only one or two bags in stock. It would be nice if the store could stock more of them on a regular basis.
We prefer these wide 1/4-inch rubber bands to narrower ones. They last longer and are more reliable to remain intact in extreme temperatures. We use them to secure folded bags in the freezer at home and in our hot humid steamy non-air-conditioned place of business.
This product was easily available as both as an in store and an on line purchase. The bag was easy to open and reseals tightly and compactly for ease of storage. There are easily more than a thousand bands in the one pound bag which is quite convenient given that I use roughly two hundred in a week's time. The size is usable for than one job and the elasticity is quite good allowing the product to be very versatile in it's application on various sized and shaped items. This is an item I recommend.
